Free Learning Series ‘Confluence Learning Lab’ begins at Missouri-Yellowstone Confluence Interpretive Center
BISMARCK, N.D. — Students ages 8-18 are invited to the “Confluence Learning Lab,” a new monthly program exploring the rich history and natural wonders of the Missouri-Yellowstone Confluence Interpretive Center and Fort Buford State Historic Site near Williston. The first program, “Identifying Animal Tracks,” is Saturday, Feb. 22, 2-3 p.m. CT in the Learning Lab. All sessions are free and open to the public.
This STEAM adventure explores the art of identifying and interpreting animal tracks in the snow. Learn how to observe and analyze animal behavior, apply scientific principles to track patterns, and engage in creative problem-solving as we venture outside to decode the stories left in the snow. Dress warmly.
In every session, we will address a different topic that integrates North Dakota school standards to ensure an educational experience that blends history, nature, science, and creativity. Children under 12 should be accompanied by an adult.
For more information, contact Education Outreach Coordinator Cheyenne Teal, shsbuford@nd.gov or 701.572.9034. The Missouri-Yellowstone Confluence Interpretive Center is part of Fort Buford State Historic Site managed by the State Historical Society of North Dakota. Missouri-Yellowstone Confluence Interpretive Center hours are Tuesday-Saturday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. CT; and closed Sunday-Monday. Fort Buford is currently closed.
